The newly redesigned Central Square in Downtown Auburn is absolutely delightful. Tonight at 8 when I left the new Italian restaurant, I was surprised to see the number of people enjoying the area.

There were at least 50 people engaged in dining outside, or strolling around, or eating frozen yogurt. On Thursday night in Auburn!

Thanks to everyone involved in the design, planning and construction; and to the adjacent merchants who sacrificed during the construction process.

It is an aesthetically pleasing, people-friendly spot of which we can all be proud.
